Pennsylvania legislature passed an amendment in 2014 that significantly increased a mandatory minimum for anyone who violates 75 § 3742 – Accidents involving death or serious bodily injury. This new law increases the penalty from one year to three years for anyone who violates this section and a death results.
This subsection and new amendment may be significantly impacted based on the PA Supreme Court’s ruling on mandatory minimum sentences in light of the US Supreme Court’s ruling in Alleyne.
